Notes on revisions & atom feeds

As it stands, if I notice minor errors in blog entries, I will update the files and the site will update. However, the atom feed will not inform subscribers that blog entries have been updated. This seems like it would be more annoying than useful for most people.

I may later update the atom feed, so that pages have published and updated fields, that update to reflect the nature of the website, but as it stands, I feel very few people would benefit from this code change.

Die-hard blog people are encouraged to follow the blog via their feed reader. If something feels funny to you, follow the link and see if you still have that funny feeling. If I've made a mistake in drafting a blog post that needs significant addressing, I'll probably make a follow up blog entry. You can let me know via the contact page if you think I've overseen a serious problem.

Thanks for tagging along on my blogging journey....

Per the complaints of several long time Gikopoi regulars, I've moved ahead and implemented Atom feeds for this here blog.

Stay tuned more conveniently with a feed reader.

Progress on the blog

I've been doing some work on this blog script, now it can do the following:

The code is still rather janky and I need to add pagination for indices, but I'll cross that road when I come to it. If anything, I intend to work more on style and get started on the atom feed, and maybe start working on some actual articles.

This static site builder sits at 161 lines per sloccount.

Speaking of code, I need to put this up on github...

Hello World

Hello world!

I've decided to restart the 4x13.net blog after a break of approximately ten years, inspired largely by the blog of my friend Akaines.

A number of things I hope to write about:

Hang tight until the blog is finished developing. Things will be a little bumpy. There will be an atom feed, so feel free to subscribe once it goes online. Source code and all content will be released into the public domain.
